Anyone up for flying the Rock tomorrow. Karma and I are ready and willing to give it a go.

Man...I'm torn---I'd love to fly HR with you guys tomorrow...but I'm still only a few spot landings away from my H3 from Steve W...so I'm feeling like I should head down to Blue Sky tomorrow and try to knock that out. (Of course there's no guarantee Steve will grant me the H3 tomorrow...but hey, I've got to try! :))

If you have tomorrow off, you should come fly High Rock. MFP and the
Hang 3 will still be there when it's not Rock-able.

I agree Ralph! Except---alas---I'm on a tight deadline. I need my H3 before the end of next week, when I go to Tennessee for the Team Challenge!

Scott,

You can easily do 3 flights at HR in an afternoon.

Steve, Ralph, Shawn and me. Steve flew earlier in the day and specked. Shawn Ray came up a bit later and we waited for Ralph to arrive. We shuttled Ralph's car to the LZ. I launched after Ralph in the Tandem and found that the air was a bit too sporty. After a few passes, I got 'spit out' in front of launch with a dramatic dive for airspeed. I landed a few minutes later. Basically, I flew the wrong glider.

When I returned to get the truck, Ralph was hanging out in front of launch, so I took some photos.

Thanks to Shawn for coming out to help.
